Friends That Invest · Investing Tips from a Successful Angel Investor | Jaclyn Johnson · 27 Apr 2026 podcast

Things that don't make a good angel investment for me is like if the founder is not someone that I think is like going to take it all the way.

If they don't have clear conviction on the path to exit, even in the earliest stages.

And three, if like I just genuinely don't think the product is that outstanding or exciting.

I think it depends.

Like I think most of the people that have pitched me that are women, it's definitely their story and their expertise.

But I will say if they don't have a lot of that, some of these founders are very young, they're new, they're starting out.

They really lean into like the product and why they have the unfair advantage to do this so young because they know something, they have unfair distribution on social media, like something like that, which will again be the tipping point.

Yeah.

So some of my more recent investments, one is actually in Stealth, but it's going to be coming out of Stealth soon, but it's called YouPop.

And it's an AI-powered tool that's replacing LinkedIn Bio for creators.

So the reason I invested in this one was a few different things.

One, AI.

I wanted to add more AI into my portfolio in general.

Two is the founder is someone that I've grown really close with.

We've...

been in touch.

I'm also an advisor to the company and how we kind of want to build it and support on that end as well.

And it was really early in on the deal.

So I was very excited about that.

She also had a VC that was leading the round too.
